Jubilee Prosperity

I had a financial friend who was a triskaidekaphobe. He did not like the Friday the 13^th film franchise genre, with 12 films now. (Will the 13^th release be unlucky?)

On Fridays the 13^th my friend ran and hid, fearing the end of his luck, if not his portfolio.

If a month begins on Sunday, then there is a Friday the 13^th. There may be from one to three Friday the 13^ths a year. However, this is the last one until 2015. Will this one be unlucky for the markets?

Maybe.

The origin of the Friday the 13^th superstition, also called paraskevidekatriaphobia, goes back to ancient and modern times.

There were 13 people at The Last Supper. One of them was crucified. Actually, they all died.

There are 13 lunar cycles a solar year.

13 used to be considered lucky, like the 13 colonies.

Things pagan and primitive became superattenuated by Christians for a while. But they lurk in the shadows. These are the times of shadows at the Box Office and in the markets.

On Friday 13 October 1066 King Harold (the last) of England decided to fight Duke William of the Normans at the Battle of Hastings, commemorated by the Bayeux Tapestry and Battle Abbey.
